That John Welton may have been of Welsh extraction is indicated in J. H. Beers' Commemorative Biographical Record of New Haven County, Connecticut, vol 2, p. 804, where his birthplace is given as Wales, and p. 904 where
England or Wales is suggested as the place he came from. This theory is also advanced by the compilers of the Upson Family in America, 1940, p. 2.
